Excellent, well written book

Career saving
When I was managing a software development group, a programmer on the team showed up at work one day with wrist braces. Turns out typing had become agony for him. He read this book, then diligently and conscientiously followed some of the recommended practices (strength training, yoga, serious workplace ergonomic changes). The wrist braces are gone, and his career has been saved. You can't fix ...

One of the best self-help books I've read
When a friend put this book in my hands a few months ago, I wondered if he was trying to tell me something, and if I should be offended.

Now I've read the book -- and passed on a few copies myself -- and I'm signing on here to say that THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL SELF-HELP BOOK. For one thing, ...

Donna J. Cornett

People Friendly Books, 2005

A Winner for Anyone Questioning Their Drinking
This book has been a lifesaver for me. For years I enjoyed social drinking without problems, but the last couple of years I've questioned if I was drinking too much. This program showed me how to pace my drinking, how to make a drinking plan in advance before I started drinking(which really worked)and how to stick to my limit fairly easily. It also made alcohol less important to me - a huge step ...

I bought Dr. Dewey's book because I know him and I wanted to contribute to his royalties. I started to read it because I was stuck at a car wash having my car detailed.
